beru

"Her music always breaks my heart. As her voice hovers over everything
like an omnipresent spectre, fractured instrumental waves crash into
each other in every possible combination. Whether it’s a drum machine
pounding you in the face or electric guitars ablaze by the distorted
trappings of long-forgotten idols, Beru never rests. Collins voice is at
its strongest as she longingly sings “You are my whold world…” wrapped
in a bed of violins and strangely-hypnotic vocal loops. It’s all
perfectly puncuated with metal-infused guitar stabs that do their best
to bring the whole thing to a screeching halt. Music like this takes
ages to perfect, but Beru has reached that point of no return.
Fire Eyes Gather Souls is a magical ride to another world. Jessica Collins has become an absolute force." (digitalis)
